After a few hours of reflection . . .

. . . I am still stumped. So is the entire Rider Nation, I presume. As one learned scribe said to me after the game: “I am trouble processing what I just saw.”

The Roughriders thought they had won the Grey Cup — for perhaps a second or two. Then they found out that a 13th player, as yet unidentified, was on the field. Montreal’s Damon Duval got to attempt another field goal, from 33 yards away, and you know he was not going to miss from there. Not again.

How long will people be talking about this game, and THAT ending? I can only imagine. The Roughriders have suffered heartbreaking losses before, but nothing like this.

We’ll have plenty of time to dissect everything. In the meantime, I’m taking an Advil and going to bed.

Thanks very much to everyone who dedicated time to this blog this season. G’night!
